A kickass stop-animation movie, concieved by Tim Burton. He wrote a poem that the movie was based on, but wasnt too closely involved with it otherwise.

Danny Elfman did the music and sang for Jack Skellington. WONDERFUL songs in this movie.

Pitched as a kid's movie, but all can appreciate it.
It is currently the 10th anniversary, so go out and buy it on DVD!

Nightmare (1993) is an EPIC stop-animation flick co-directed and written by Tim Burton, and based on a poem of his creation. Like any Burton movie, the visuals are absolutely STUNNING in their dark and dreamy ways, and Danny Elfman, who composed the music and gave our much loved Jack Skellington a voice to sing, just tied together this insane piece of perfection.

TNBC is not just a kid’s movie. It’s a masterpiece that doesn’t know age, because anyone will love its charming story, lovable characters, macabre humor, and kick-ass songs, which have been covered by bands including Marilyn Manson, Korn, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, and Panic! at the Disco and more. Check em out on Youtube!

If escaping off to the worlds of Halloween Town and Xmas Town doesn’t rock your own, you’re not human!

... Pretty damn shitty that people who make subcultures a bandwagon thing cheaped The Nightmare by making it their little icon. How 'individual' to parade Jack merchandise, eh?

Great movie,based on tim burtons poem.But this movie has been ruined for people who really do like it by all those wannabe goths that have turned it into the lastest movie to like.

The greatest movie ever made.....EVER. Music rocks too.

a decent movie which has been completely and utterly defiled by the numerous subcultures that have made it a cult classic and an object of obsession. the juvenile themes of the movie might be reflected by the below-average maturity level of a viewer consumed by said subcultures. merchandise portraying characters and other similar memorabilia are available at your local hot topic.

Coming home from a Christmas Eve party early and find your parents having sex on the couch. You father is dressed up like Santa and your mother is dressed up like Mrs. Clause.

The best movie in the world, starring Jack and Sally the Ragdoll. Based on the poem by Tim Burton, which only actaully has 3 characters. (Jack, Santa, and Zero, Jack's ghost dog.)

A film that has been marketed to death at commercial alternative clothing stores such as Hottopic, The Alley, Spencer's, etc.

Clearly ruined by mallgawths.

Are Sally Lipgloss Mirrors for $10 necessary?

Do you really think that hoodie makes you cool? What about the rest of 98% of the other kids who shop at hottopic and are seen running around malls in them?! Are they cool too?

Films are meant to inspire not to be marketed to idiotic masses.

The Corpse Bride is another prime example.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is an amazing animation directed by Tim Burton and Composed by Danny Elfman. It is based around a town called 'Halloween Town', where Halloween King: Jack Skellington, decides to take on christmas for the year...but things go wrong as christmas turns more into a nightmare.
